Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson Expresses Bafflement over Science
The former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who resigned in September 2021 after being implicated in rule-breaking parties at his Downing Street residence during the pandemic, is set to testify in a public inquiry into his actions. The investigation, led by retired Judge Heather Hallett, will last for three years and aims to provide clarity on the circumstances surrounding Johnson’s involvement in the parties. It is believed that Johnson’s difficulty comprehending certain concepts and data during his time in office was not due to a unique ability but rather the challenging nature of the work involved. Despite this, Johnson has agreed to participate in the public inquiry under significant pressure from grieving families who have expressed dissatisfaction with the evidence surrounding his actions.
